Equine Welfare in Clinical Practice: How and Why Behavior and Welfare Assessments Belong in Your Practice reviews the current psychological, behavioral, and welfare knowledge equine veterinarians should have and discusses how such knowledge may be incorporated into clinical practices. It covers such topics as practical welfare assessment, fear-free practices, and how horses learn (both good and bad habits). Each topic is intended to provide both practical and pertinent science-based information for equine practitioners and their clients. Written by international experts, this book explores the physical, psychological, and behavioral factors contributing to equine welfare. It discusses current knowledge about topics such as equine senses, cognition, and stereotypies, as well as appropriate and inappropriate training methods, for both adult horses and foals. It also addresses differentiating medical from behavioral problems and discusses the new field of how the gut microbiome affects behavior.

Veterinarians who understand and can educate their clients in equine welfare and safe and appropriate care and handling techniques will increase their business success, improve the lives of their clients and patients, and strengthen the human-animal bond. In addition, the book will also provide updated information and useful practical tips for those who are already familiar with equine psychology, behavior, and welfare. - Emphasizes the clinical applications of the sciences of equine behavior and welfare - Offers expert recommendations to improve the lives of horses, their owners, and the veterinarians who care for them - Provides resources for further study and access to specialists for consultation or referral
